Get Yourself Some Sleep... By Reading The Blog

If your 10 month old is waking every 1-2 hours overnight, you're likely exhausted, frustrated, and wondering what on earth is going on! You've probably tried everything - you've adjusted wake windows, checked and double checked the sleep environment, moved bedtime earlier, moved bedtime later, followed all the sleep advice online but nothing is making a difference. The good news is that hourly waking at 10 months is usually a sign of something deeper is going on rather than

The clocks spring forward an hour this coming Sunday 29th March from 1am to 2am. Whilst this means we lose an hours sleep on that night (if you're keen at waking at your usual time instead of seeing an hour later on the clock come Sunday morning), it's all good in the long run as we head towards more daylight hours. Clock changes can cause a bit of worry for some parents but by being prepared, it's unlikely to cause too much change for your little one’s sleep. In fact, if yo

If you’ve ever thought, “maybe they’re overtired, that's why they won’t sleep,” you’re not alone. The term 'overtired' is used a lot. Too much in my opinion. Let’s unpack what’s actually going on in a way that makes sense and hopefully by the end of reading this, you will have that 'a-ha' moment! What I hear parents getting told about overtiredness You may have heard something similar to this: “If you miss the wake window, they’ll get overtired, produce cortisol, and sleep wi

Here we go again! That confusing time of year when we wake up on a Sunday morning not quite sure what's the correct time and what's the old time! At 2am on Sunday 26th October (I always prefer to think of it as Saturday night) the clocks go back an hour which was delightful pre-kids, but can make for a slightly earlier rise on Sunday morning now that we have little humans to look after. If you already have an early riser, don't panic! The thought of another whole hour earli

A common question I get is: “When's the right time to drop night feeds?” After some digging into other daytime patterns, appetite, understanding how they settle, their age, personality and how the parent feels about the night feeds, I can generally get a good idea of the answer but every baby is different, and that answer can vary widely. There are however, some typical patterns and gentle ways to reduce night feeds when the time feels right for you and your little one. How

Over the past few months, I’ve been diving deep into the world of early brain development through my Introduction to Neuroscience in Early Years Award. It’s been fascinating, and it’s given me an even stronger foundation for the work I do with families around infant and child sleep. Sleep isn’t just about routines and bedtimes—it’s about the developing brain, emotional regulation, and how children learn to feel safe enough to rest. Here are some of the key things I’ve learned

The reason your baby isn’t sleeping well could be because you're (unknowingly) falling into one or two of these sleep pitfalls. We all do our very best and try everything to get our little ones to sleep but if every tip from Google still leaves you in the same place, then take a look below at some of the most common baby sleep mistakes (full disclosure - I did ALL of these with my own children prior to becoming a sleep coach) along with some additional tips for what to do in

Nap Transitions by Age: A Guide to Dropping Naps from Baby to Toddler

When it comes to a child’s sensory preferences, we know that they’re all different! Some children crave movement, touch, and excitement, while others prefer quiet, predictable environments. I know so many children that sit nicely in one or other of these camps. Understanding whether your child is a sensory seeker or a sensory avoider can really help when it comes to sleep. What Are Sensory Seekers and Sensory Avoiders? Sensory seekers actively seek out stimulation. They thriv
